Mr. O'Malley
The number of children leaving industrial schools in any year includes those who were formally discharged in previous years but remained in the schools for further training.
The number of boys and girls aged 14 years or over who left industrial schools in the year ended 30th June, 1966, were 211 and 220 respectively and in the year ended 30th June, 1967, 173 and 213 respectively.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to give the remainder of the information sought in the form of a tabular statement, which will be circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
STATEMENT showing, in respect of those for whom information is available, the numbers of boys and girls of 14 years or over who left industrial schools in the years specified to enter employment and the number of thoses who were apprenticed.
